In this chapter Nathan talks about friends that she has been spending her time with and also being introduced to foreign exchange students. When she met them she invited them to dinner and at dinner they began to talk about customs in different cultures. Nathan states, "For the international students I interviewed, American college culture is a world of engagement, choice, individualism, and independence, but it is also one of cross-culture ignorance and self delusion that cries out for remediation." I thought that this was kind of a weird statement because i don't think the culture is this way just for international students I think it is this way for all college students leaving home and going away.
